Other Rules

The following rules influence the way people can be targeted and resist powers.

On Edge :
If a target is on edge all attempts to target them suffer a -2 dice penalty

====================

Frenzy :
All frenzy effects lower a targets ability to resist mental influence as they are not composed enough to defend themselves. Effects stack, a starving kindred near a fire suffers a dice penalty equal to the sum of all effects. At the same time though the person targeting them suffers the target “On Edge” penalty.

Social
Presence (Power) – Fireworks, bright pink clothes, loud speaker and still no one is interested.
Manipulation (Finesse) – Sledgehammer to crack a peanut.
Composure (Resistance) – AGGHH I see fire!!… YES over there on that hill top!!! Frenzy check.

====================

Wounds :

Borrowing from SIFR, wound levels apply to ALL actions, not just combat. So they will lower movement, defense, combat actions as well as social and other skills by the standard wound penalty.
